This story and video directly expose that nowadays people spend too much time on smartphone, and the statistic of smartphone's time makes me rethink profoundly because I suddenly realized I am the one, to be honest, even worse than them. By my estimate, the time that I use smartphone might be reached 4 hours. I've been using smartphone for quite a long time, and I admit I don't know when I come to rely on it. Especially when iphone 4 was published, it took the place of many necessary stuffs because it is 'smart' enough. A phone, which was only used by making phone call not long ago, even became the most useful thing. Here are some reasons that why I cannot stay far away from my phone. Studying abroad has many issues, such as homesick and far away from your inland social hub. The smartphone can help you to face time with your family and chat with friends, so to some extent, it helps me to keep relationships with my friends and family. Without these advantages, as the end of the video says, it takes the nothingness from us. In my opinion, not only boredom was taken by smartphone, but also some emotion. I believe some of you definitely were blamed by your parents when you stared at your phone on dining table, and you might have the bad feeling that everyone reached for the phone when you joined the class reunion. That's why I turned to self-examination.
Some of the acts you do with your smartphone seem to be positive ones (keeping in touch with your family, fighting homesickness, etc.), and we can all think of ways that phones are very practical (getting information quickly to another person, finding pertinent information on the internet, etc.). However, some you mentioned are also quite negative (being on the phone in lieu of talking with people, etc.). I wonder--how can we rectify these two opposite sides of the smartphone? By that I mean, how can we reap the benefits of the smartphone without incurring the negatives? And most importantly--is this even possible?
ReplyDeleteI have very similar feeling with you about people using their smartphone around table. In current society, we rely on the smartphone too much, no matter for family and friends communicating, news searching or game playing, and we should do some self-examination.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, why we use the smartphone so much is because of the convenience if it. There is no more things in our daily life so convenient like the smartphone. Do you think that we should consider to use the phone more efficiently instead of just reducing the time usage on the smartphone?
Get contact with you friends are related to the basic phone's features I thought. In my opinion, phone did that kinds of jobs just like human did, no matter what social software they use, the time spending or memory space requirement are the same. The most possible influence given by mordoen phone, might be cames from overloading. Just some of my personal opinions above.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with that staying abroad can make us much more reliable on cell phones, since I have the same felling as you---I am far with my friends and family, and I don't know what happend to them and whether they had good news and bad news, at this time cell phone could be the only one method that I can know what they were doing and whether happy or bad.
